During one of my visits to
Kovalam Beach, near Chennai, I got to capture this temple tower from the
parking lot. The temple called as Kanniamman Kovil is built close to the shore,
though the temple tower looks fading, I find it beautiful along the pretty blue
sky. I was there on a Sunday evening and it was crowded and people where coming
in and out making it look like an exhibition with few merry go around kind of
things. For the people around this area, Kovalam beach is an entertainment place
to spend their Sunday evenings.
The intricate work and figurines of various gods and lions entail painstaking labour. Shows amazing diligence of the artists.
ReplyDeletevery pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful. I like the color of it and all the carvings make it unique for the culture.
ReplyDeleteBlue dominates the photo and look lovely...
ReplyDeleteOur temples are always beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI generally miss noticing the statues on the Gopuram as they are so high. But nowadays, I make it a point to zoom and click the details. Did not notice this Temple in Kovalam, yet. Will try to visit there.
